§ Mr. Edward DaveyTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many anti-social behaviour orders have been issued since 1999 in(a) England and Wales, (b) the Greater London area and (c) the Royal Borough of Kingston. [141629]
§ Mr. Charles ClarkeOver 140 orders have now been granted in England and Wales. At least 10 of these have been made in the Greater London area. I understand that no orders have been granted in the Royal Borough of Kingston.
§ Mr. Edward DaveyTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is the average cost of issuing an anti-social behaviour order. [141630]
§ Mr. Charles ClarkeAs I said in my reply to the hon. Member on 13 November 2000,Official Report, column 531W, I cannot yet say what the average cost of issuing an order is. We will be undertaking a review into the operation and effectiveness of anti-social behaviour orders in the new year. Once the results of the review have been published, we should have a clearer picture of the cost of seeking an order.
